Different types of satin glass?
[edit]This article appears to center on an established type of collectible objects generally known as "satin glass", whose surface has been made translucent/opaque by etching it with HF. But in costume jewelry, there's a completely different type of satin glass that has a glossy surface lustre and an internal structure of fine, parallel lines or layers that reflect light; however, I don't have any info about its manufacture besides unreliable collectors' lore that it involves somehow "combing" air through the glass (I have no real idea). Is this worth a mention within the article? which mainly occurs to me because I was recently looking at "satin glass beads" of the latter type, whereas glass beads whose overall texture has been created by HF-etching are called something else instead (usually "matte", or sometimes "ghost" in combination with an iridescent aurora-borealis effect).
